Thought I'd give the middle section of the lovely Llynfi Dulas a bash for a couple of hours this afternoon...... got there two ish ...the view is fabulous from the top ...a nice bimble down to the River , running at a nice height but always slightly muddy in colour here .... some lifting of stones revealed loads of caddis and a stone loach!! ......wowser haven't seen one of those in years !!! ... there were bullheads under some large flat stones too... and plenty of invertebrates... in fact amass with them .... Great stuff .
Mayfly on the go from two and large Brook duns ... also olives but trout weren't that keen on rising today.. think I saw three rises over two odd hours !! Managed five to Para dries they really hammer the fly here when they want it ...thought it would have been a bit more lively here but alas pretty quite considering the mass of insect life ... oh well thats fishing for you !!! Still a super couple of hours on x secretive little stream .... getting very overgrown here in fairness..... Real jungle warfare tactics , the six foot, two weight was plenty !! Back home and a bottle of cold Amber nectar me finks !! Another little adventure ..... these wild streams are fab !! Get out there folks, they're at their best now !!! Happy days !!!

Tough fishing due to limited river entry points. Caught a decent brown trout about 1.5lbs. Pod of fish rising in the last hour - infuriating!

Thousands of May flies on the water but not a trout in site. I covered the full stretch and saw one fish rise the entire evening

As with earlier reports from April, Hergest seems trickier at the moment than it traditionally is. Several fish rising short to gnats, Adams, and the one that came to hand was on a jig nymph under Hergest falls. Water conditions were ideal height, colder than usual for May and fly life was present but less that expected, gnats being present and LDO spinners which never touched down enough to generate a rise.

Sunny day, but wind still in the north. Saw hardly any rises in a morning session, but caught three tiddlers on nymphs. By the evening a lot more fish in evidence, but they weren't taking what I offered them, either nymphs or dry. Caught one more.

Parked in the layby on the A465 and made my way upstream. Weather cloudy with sunny intervals and a very annoying downstream wind. Tried nymph in the fast riffles at the bottom of the beat with one take that I didn't make contact with. Changed to dry when a large hatch started around 11am, but for some reason this season I can't make good contact with the fish. Dozens of takes but only one 12 inch fish landed.

Although there were people walking on the far bank I wasn't bothered, and the dog walkers respectfully kept their dogs out of the water once they spotted me.

A calmer day with a much better evening rise. Saw two dead fish in the river in the long pool downstream of the parking area in the field. Lots of fun in a beautiful spot.
